Calibre not mounting Kobo Sage

[BiliBug]

Probably due to macOS beta, Calibre is not mounting the Sage. I can access it from the OS itself, and manipulate the files on it.

Kovid, I can provide you the debug log privately, if you wish.

Feel free to send it thugh I'm afraid I dont have the resources to support beta OSes. Most likely you just need to give permission as described in the FAQ: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...ted-by-calibre

I did all of those steps, and reset my device list to default as well as reinstall Calibre completely.

I will send you my debug log. If you can’t come up with a simple fix that’s fine. It might help let you prepare for issues to come once out of beta.

That looks like a failure in device name matching. Maybe apple changed the device node naming scheme. Uninstall/disable the kobotouch extended plugin then in terminal.app run

/Applications/calibre/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -d

and post the output (with the device connected)

Thanks. I thought this too, but the Kobo mounts and I can open and manipulate files on it from the OS. It seems to be specific to Calibre mounting it.

[kovidgoyal]

@Billibug I need the full calibre-debug -d output not just the ioreg part.

[BiliBug]

It's in the "spoiler".

[kovidgoyal]

ah right. yes the issue is caused by apple having renamed the device node to

fat://disk2/KOBOeReader

from /dev/disk2

bloody idiots arent capable of maintaining stable userspace interfaces to save their lives. A trillion dollar company and it cant do simple things. I dont know what a good way to work around it is at present. Will investigate after the OS is releases, assuming they dont restore the device names by the time of release.

Will that be part of the next build release? I don't know how to compile an installer myself.

Inept Epub DeDRM does not work with Calibre 5.x. YOu should remove it and install the current DeDRM version.

https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools

The above link is where to get the current version of DeDRM.

Thanks,

It must have been a legacy plugin that wasn't deleted. I saw that error, but didn't see it in the plugins panel, which makes sense, if it is incompatible with Calibre 5.X. I deleted it manually.

I do already have the most recent DeDRM version from that site. I had disabled it as part of troubleshooting.

Plugins that don't get initialized don't show up in the plugins panel. You did it the only way you could which was to do it manually.
